ASSIGNOR T0 WOLF SAFETY LAMP CO. 01

AMERICA, INC, 0F BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. i). CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.

Application filed March 29,

causes the eye to wear through resulting, in

many cases. in the lamp falling and the open flame setting tire to the wooden shoring in the mine walls and ceiling. Further objcction to the type of lamps heretofore in use resided in the fact that such lamps would swing on the eye and would, in many cases, be swung by accident to cause the acetylene flame to impinge upon the shoring resulting in fire. The present invention contemplates a solution of both of these problems.

In the drawings Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a miners acetylene lamp provided with the subject of this invention; Fig. 2 is a top View of the lamp; Fig. 3 is a front view, partly in section, of the hanger and part of the handle of the lamp; Fig. 4 is a sectional View on the line 44 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a sectional view on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3.

The lamp comprises the usual carbide chamber 1, a water reservoir 2, the burner-3 and reflector 4. The short arms 5 are welded to the top of the water reservoir 2 at opposite sides thereof and carry the ends 6 of the bracket 7 secured to the arms 5 by the rivets 8 so that the brackets 7 may be turned downwardly for convenience in packing the lamp.

The top cross-piece 9 of the brackets 7 is provided with spaced apertures 10 and 10 leaving a section of metal therebetween. which is punched downwardly to form the lip or hearing 11. The ring 12 is passed through the two holes 10 and 10 and around the lip or bearing 11, the under side of which engages the inside of the ring. The

192 Serial No. 179,226.

clearance for the ring 12 in the apertures 10 and 10 is sutiicient so that the ring may readily turn therein on the bearing 11. The hook 13 is secured to the ring 12 by thread ing the lower end thereof through. the ring an d bcndingthe end over to form the eye 14..

In this construction the ring constitutes an anti-wearing device which will constantly change its position as the lamp is carried or as it swings, thereby exposing successive portions of the inner surface thereof for en--- gagement with the eye 14 and the bearing 11 and thus avoids being worn through by con stant friction with the eye 14 or the bearing 11 at a particular poftion.

Further advantage of this construction rcsides in the fact that the lamp can swing but very little to the right-and left on account of the absence of any great amount of play in the engagement of the ring with the apertures 10 and 10 and with the eye 14- Various cl'ianges in the specific form shown and described may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of my invention.

I claim:

1. In a lamp or the like a bracket, spaced apertures in the bracket, a ring passing through said, apertures and movable there" through, a suspending implement engaging with the ring, the ring being adapted to move freely and thereby expose successive portions thereof for engagement with the suspending implement.

2. In a lamp or the like a bracket, spaced apertures in the bracket, a bearing separating said apertures, a ring passing through said apertures and engaging at a portion of its inner surface against the under surface of said bearing, and adapted to move through said apertures to expose different portions thereof to said bearing.

3. In a lamp or the like a bracket, spaced apertures in the bracket, 2. bearing separating said apertures, a ring passlng through said apertures and engaging at a portion of its inner surface against the under surface of said bearing and adapted to move through said apertures to expose different portions the lamp is in usm to expose successive purtions thereof to an in'iplen'lent on which it is hung, to permit uniform wear of the member.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

DOMINGO ANGLADA.
